Blueprint Photography
The 48th Chromosome
A tattoo and photography journey into the future of never forgetting what humans are capable of....the new generation.
The photo sessions will take place in Los Angeles and New York City at several tattoo studios and In front of Holocaust & remembrance museums.
One Number Remembers:
The Auschwitz death camp themed '202500 Never Forget' tattoo symbolizes and remembers ALL past human atrocities including but not limited to the Armenian genocide, the Shoa (Holocaust), the Cambodian genocide, the Rwandan genocide, and the Darfur genocide.
"202499 Never Again"
The last number tattooed on a human by a human at the Auschwitz death camps was 202499 (202,499).
"Who's Next?"
Those who forget.....
The tattooed number 202500 Never Forgets that it's the next human in line. 202500 remembers & stands with the humans numbered from 1 to 202499, and never forgets the millions and millions of humans that were slaughtered by other humans. 202500 never forgets.
"Don't sleep on humans"
-Human.
The Blueprint
The Auschwitz death camp tattoos were tattooed with blue or black ink, some of the ink eventually faded into a gray/green mark. Using blue ink '202500 Never Forget' will be tattooed on each of the volunteering participant's left forearm as a powerful reminder of the past, present, and potential future of evil's DNA.
The 'blueprint' tattoo on each forearm will be photographed with the Holocaust buildings in the background to symbolize the haunting human flesh 'blueprints' of these structures and the reason why the architectural blueprints exist today.

**** The first two photographs of Holocaust survivor tattoos at the top of the Page are not the property of the 202500 Never Forget Project, and were not taken by one of our photographers. The powerful photographs serve as an example of the Holocaust themed tattoos that the project will upload upon completion of the 202500 photo sessions in New York City & Los Angeles.
